Archived from groups: alt>trucks>chevy (more info?)

I have a 97 Olds Silhouette. My wife called me the other day and said the
drivers side window wouldn't go back up after she put it down, was stuck
about 3/4 of the way up. That night, I drove it and hit the switch, it went
down (Guess I should have hit up!!!) and stopped and wouldn't go up. It is
now stuck 1/4 of the way up. The following day, the same thing happened to
the passenger side window. Any ideas?

Like bill said, your motor is probably shot.

I had this on my '95 Jimmy after about six years.

Both motors? Kinda strange they would both go out within 24 hours of each
other. These motors get 12V? Guess I could verify I am getting 12V up to
the motor huh?

Thanks!

I lost the two rear window motors on a 95 Olds within two days of each
other.

motors go down but not up,check switch. Switch "switches" the
polarity of the motor
to make it go up or down, so I would check switches first. also at
11 years old, the
window tracks are probably cruded up, and the lubricant on the
mechanisim itself
priobably dried out as well. There is also a reley in the system some
where. Once all
those have been checked then look to motors. Dorman motors ie new run
about $60
reman Cordones run about $41.

Well, I have 11.77 volts at the plug, so I am assuming bad motors. Motors
on the way! Thanks all!

Motor is probably riveted in. Just drill them out, and get some nuts, bolts,
and use copious amounts of lock solvent in the threads.
